Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods will see quite a bit of each other over the next few months after it was confirmed they will play in China in October.
Tiger and Rory: Going head to head
The duo are set to be paired at next week's Barclays at Bethpage on New York's Long Island - the first of the four play-off events of the FedEx Cup - while American captain has hinted that he could put Woods up against McIlroy at the Ryder Cup in September.
Organisers of the one-day Duel at Jinsha Lake matchplay contest in China have now also confirmed that they will come up against each other on October 29 at the Jinsha Lake Golf Club in Zhengzhou.
"It's an exciting concept and it will be a lot of fun going head to head with Tiger," world number one McIlroy said.
"The Duel at Jinsha Lake will be the first time myself and Tiger have come together to play a 'one-off' match like this, so I'm really looking forward to it.
"I've always looked up to him as a player. What he's achieved in the game is remarkable."
He added: "With the huge growth of the game of golf across Asia and the inclusion of the sport in the next Olympic Games in 2016, I think it's fitting for this great event to take place in China."
